My mother is going into surgery on Tuesday - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian · 01-14-2003, 02:34 AM

On Tuesday, January 14, my mother is going to have a gastric bypass operation. She is very overweight and with this surgery, she will eat less and lose the pounds. I'm really worried right now. I hope she makes it because I want her to be at my high school graduation in June. She made it to all four of my sisters HS graduations and I don't want her to miss mine. I don't know if I can sleep tonight.

I know it's very hard not to worry, but please try not to worry. She'll make it and she'll see you at your graduation. I'll be praying for you and your mother, BJL.

I wish your mother the best of luck BJL. All surgery is risky, but in the end, the weight loss is the best thing for her health. Al Roker and Carnie Wilson look and feel like new healthier people after undergoing the same surgery your mom is having.
Your mother will be there in June cheering for you at your High School graduation ceremony.
Please make sure you let us know how everything goes.
Try and get some sleep. I know you're scared, but your mother be fine.

I Hope Everything works out Ok. My Mom has Crohns disease (I Do Too but not as bad) so i know what its like to have a mother having surgery. Just try to take your mind off of it and think everythings gonna be ok. Thats what i always do and it usually makes me feel a bit better.

Your mother will be just fine, in the end this surgery is the best thing for her. She'll be much healthier. My cousin is going in for the same surgery next month...he really needs it. Anyway, good luck to your mother.

Moonlight Lady · 01-14-2003, 09:53 AM

I know how you feel, It's scary when your mother needs surgery. I agree with what everyone's said. It will improve her health and she will feel better.

I'll keep her, you and the rest of your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Plata · 01-14-2003, 10:02 AM

I'm sure your mother will be okay. I'll keep her in my prayers. I bet she'll still see your graduation.

Pitooey · 01-14-2003, 10:02 AM

Just remember that the surgery will be giving her back her health. 2 people in my own neighborhood have had this surgery and they both look great. In the beginning she will feel uncomfortable but, then it'll be smooth sailing. She will be fine around graduation time. Good Luck to you & your Mom...........

I'll be praying for your mom and the rest of your family. Not just today, but in the days and weeks to come. I'm sure everything will be fine. And please, let us know how well everything goes.

I just heard from the hospital that she is fine. I wasn't really too worried because I was so focused on school today.
